Woolworths SA Recalls Its Woolworths Branded 100% Apple Juice
Woolworths SA Recalls Its Woolworths Branded 100% Apple Juice. South African retail giant Woolworths took to Twitter to announce the cm recalling of their Woolworths branded 100% Apple juice, according to the company this is because the products did not pass safety tests.
The post read, “Food safety is critically important to Woolworths and we take all issues regarding the production of our food extremely seriously. Following routine quality tests, Woolworths is recalling Woolworths branded 100% Apple Juice 200ml cartons. We are recalling single boxes and six packs with the best before date of 23, 28 and 29 March 2022. It was identified that these products contain levels of patulin above the regulatory limits. Patulin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin commonly associated with apples.”
Having products that are not safe for customers can be bad for business as this might cause some consumers to get sick once they consume the product, it is therefore very important for business owners to check that the product they are selling is of good quality and comply with health standards. By recalling the products Woolworths is rectifying the mistake it made thereby limiting the damage that would be caused.
The company explained fitter in the post as it said, “Customers who have purchased the product, should return the product to their nearest Woolies store for a full refund. For more information please contact our customer service centre on 0860 022 002. We actively manage and prevent microbial contamination of food and have done so for years. We have strict protocols as part of our food safety management process. To verify the safety of our products, we implement additional monitoring where we independently have our food tested.”

We have very strict protocols in place as part of our standard food safety management process. To verify the safety of our food products, we implement additional monitoring where we independently have our food products tested randomly.” It said in a statement.
